I was trainee pilot in 1952, Chipmunks and the next step should have been Meatboxes, but was scheduled to multi engine aircraft, so went on to Oxfords. Two of my intake were killed in Meteors, perhaps it was better I went to navigation.
My brother, older than me had had served in bomber command in the war, and was now an QFI on meteors, He said as long as you were very quick, an engine out on take off could be handled
